This may be Lorentine and her foster family in the 1870 US Census, shortly after their arrival into the United States. Here Jens is using his patronymic surname ie a version of Kristian or Christian. And Lorentine is named Laura. All of the family born in Norway.

Olaus was born in Vestre Toten Dec. 20. 1850.
Olaus Andreasen bapt. record from Jan1. 1851, born Dec. 20. 1850, see #5
He was born on farm Karsrud
Vestre Toten
Have I missed something  Where does the Albert name comes from?

I believe this child to be the first born son - Albert they share the same birth date and year. I know sometimes Baptism papers are not the same as a birth certificate. Mine are not matching.

I am not understanding were we find "foster parents" I thought we just found her parents- did they remain in the old country - and sent lena over with another family ? sorry for my "duh" on this.

Remember the 1865 Norwegian Census. There is a link to it on a previous page, but here is part of it. Notice after Lorentines name it states she is a fosterdatter.
Name Family status Marital status Occupation Birth year Place of birth Ethnicity
Jens Kristian Johnsen hf g Gaardbruger, selveier 1828 Lenvik
Sofie Kalsdatter Hans kone g 1832 Lenvik
Johan Gerhard Berg Fostersøn ug 1853 Lenvik kvæn
Lorentine Andreasdatter Fosterdatter ug 1856 Lenvik bl kvænsk norsk
Karl Johan Hansen ug Selvholder, fisker 1845 Lenvik
Pauline Andreasdatter ug Tjenestepige 1847 Lenvik
Karl Jensen g Kaarmand 1800 Lenvik qvæn?
We then found her birth record in which her parents are listed. This is both in Digitalarkivet and a record from Ancestry.com. The link to Digitalarkivet is in the same post as the 1865 Census. Here is the Ancestry.com record. Note that her birth father first name is Andreas thus her last name in the Census of Andreasdatter and not Jensdatter after her fosterfather.
Norway, Select Baptisms, 1634-1927 about Lorentine Bergitte Andreas Mathiasdatter
Name: Lorentine Bergitte Andreas Mathiasdatter
Gender: Female
Birth Date: 29 jun 1856
Baptism Date: 17 aug 1856
Baptism Place: Lenvik, Troms, Norway
Father: Andreas Mathias Eriksen
Mother: Margrette Marie Pedersdr

Just in case you need it, here again is the link to the 1865 Norwegian Census.
NHDC 1865
And here is the link that Einar provided to a clearer baptismal record than the one I provided. There are two books for this parish for their records. See number 96

| Yes they are listed in the godparents column. I see that the mother of the child is named Karoline Carlsdatter Kragnæs. Could very well be a sister of Sophie Karlsdatter foster mother of Leontine and of course a godparent of this child.. |

I did find this group leaving in 1873 with a Mathias. Might be them??
It is them, except that Gina Gulbrandsdatter should have been written Guri Gulbrandsdatter.
Looks like the father Andreas Olsen and Olaus have emigrated earlier (possibly 1871) and the rest of the family followed in 1873.

This might be Andreas Olsen.
This may be a candidate for Olaus.

Maybe both parents were dead.

Her mother was Margrete Marie Pedersdatter Krognes.
Oct. 29. 1859 in Lenvik "Gardkone" Farmers wife (she was not a widow) Grete Margrethe Pedersdatter died on Krognes #43
I am not sure that this is her mother.
